A grid of small squares in deep teal blue and white alternates across the composition in a crisp, uniform gingham pattern. The repeating checked motif creates a sense of order and rhythm, with each square precisely aligned to form a clean, geometric textile-like surface. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
